  “What a grim pub. Most of the Sam Smiths beers taste awful. Miserable ignorant landlady who never smiles especially when you interrupt her doing her knitting to serve somebody . No use of phones allowed in pub at all. The place goes quiet when nosey customers wonder who the strangers are 😄. How this place is still open amazes me as it must be running at a continuous loss.”

  “Nice pub tradition décor. Lovely staff and a good selection of beer. My own fault I didn't notice but phones are not allowed to be used. I get how it encourages interaction but I was traveling alone and just wanted a quiet coke and sit down for 20min.”

  “Nice old pub with lots of charm. Great selection of beers at reasonable prices. Something that can't be said about their own range of spirits. They work out very expensive as unlike other pub chains they don't have offers on. Note that every lady in the busy pub was drinking pints. Was taken aback by the servers were both drinking pints on the job. One sat down making roll ups”

  “Large, traditional pub with a separate lounge/bar area and a cavernous games room. It's a Sam Smith's house, so you know what to expect: decent beer, low prices, no music, and slightly draconian 'rules' (no phones, no swearing, etc.). Either way, it's a friendly place - staff and regulars alike - and well worth popping in.”

  “What can I say....I've been drinking in this pub 20 years. It's part of my life. When I was in the army and been away for 6 months I'd come back and sink a cold one in here. The best ...... so many memories 😁😁😁”

  “Absolutely shocking, there is a phone ban in the pub,. It was Saturday night and dead. About 10 people in the Saxon at most. This pub use to be thriving pub years ago now. But samuel Smith are running this pub into the ground,especially now they have banned mobile phones ban, notices on each table about what you can and cant do. Next if will be no talking.”
